White House won't deny Trump comment on Africa

Trump's comments, made at a closed-door White House meeting, were a reaction to a plan to cut the number of people entering the U.S. through its visa lottery program.According to CNNsources, lawmakers proposed reducing the number by half, with the rest going to underrepresented countries in Africa and nations with Temporary Protected Status (TPS).

During a meeting with lawmakers, Trump reportedly asked why the United States accepted immigrants from "s**thole countries", like Haiti and those in Africa, and he suggested more immigrants should come from nations like Norway. As for Africa, he asked why more people from "s--hole countries" should be allowed into the US, the sources said.

Former British Foreign Secretary David Miliband accused the Trump administration of "leading a race to the bottom". "This is particularly surprising as the United States of America remains a global example of how migration gave birth to a nation built on strong values of diversity and opportunity", African Union spokesperson Ebba Kalondo told AP.

The administration announced past year that it would end a temporary residency permit program that allowed almost 60,000 Haitians to live and work in the U.S.in the wake of a devastating 2010 quake.

Republican political pundits also jumped on the comments, with some defending Trump. Cooper choked up as he recounted his experiences in Haiti, at the frontline of rescue attempts during the quake and said that Trump could learn something about dignity and strength from the Haitian people he encountered.

While some Republicans hope to gain leverage by dragging out negotiations and increase the risk that DACA recipients could lose status and even be deported, advocates have made clear to Democrats they should feel empowered to reject a deal that benefits DACA immigrants at the expense of scores of others and their families. "White people in other words". "I am very much sure things will get better".

Democrats want to stave off deportation of some 800,000 immigrants now protected by an Obama-era program called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA.
